Robin of Sherwood First U.S. Edition (1996) by Michael Morpurgo

This item is a 1996 First United States edition of the children's book 'Robin of Sherwood', written by Michael Morpurgo and illustrated by Michael Foreman. The copyright page identifies that it was first published in Great Britain by Pavilion Books Limited before being released in the U.S. by Harcourt Brace & Company. The physical specimen shown is a high-quality hardcover publication with its interior pages printed on creamy white, semi-gloss paper stock in Italy, a common indicator of high-standard production for illustrated children's literature from this era. The text is set in a clean, serif font. Notable markings include the full Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data, the unique ISBN 0-15-201315-6, and the 'First U.S. edition 1996' statement at the bottom of the page, accompanied by a number line 'A C E F D B'. The condition appears excellent with minimal yellowing of the pages, sharp corners on the inner spine, and no visible handwriting, library stamps, or foxing. The book serves as a companion title to Morpurgo's 'Arthur, High King of Britain' and is a significant piece for collectors of modern children's classics and the works of Michael Morpurgo.
